4. Environmental impacts of CAEVs

Adoption of CAEVs has the possibility to play a key role in addressing environmental impacts due to the existing transportation systems [10–13].

Deployment of CAEVs will yield immense changes in vehicle design, traveler behavior, mobility patterns and even urban planning that will have dramatic environmental impacts [14, 15].

Environmental impacts of CEAVs will depend on several factors. Some of them are listed as follows: effects of the total Vehicle-miles traveled (VMT); adoption of Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS); Fuel economy; and eco-driving and platooning.
